Maths - It doesn't add up

Yesterday's big story was the snow but the Conservative party were busy launching a fatuous taskforce to look into the teaching of maths in Britain. The team is to be led by non other than Carol Vorderman, Countdown's former maths spiff.

The idea that a famous person who is good at maths is the best person to advise the Department of Education on how its teachers are to deliver lessons is ludicrous.
